BREAKING: Louis Tomlinson is Going to Be a Dad

Guess Liam isn't the daddy of the group anymore...

Okay, Directioners. Find a seat because we've got some jaw-dropping news for you.

It's hard to believe it, but your fave One Direction jokester, Louis Tomlinson, is about to be a dad, and no, not with his ex Eleanor Calder.

We'll give you a second to let that sink in.

Have you calmed down? Here are the deets. According to People.com, Louis is expecting a child with Los Angeles-based stylist Briana Jungwirth. "Louis is happy and very excited about becoming a dad and he thinks Briana will be an amazing mother," revealed a mutual "friend."

This news might come out of nowhere for most Directioners, but apparently, Louis and Briana met through mutual friends earlier this year AFTER his split with Eleanor in March (*tear*).

People.com's source revealed that Louis and Briana are not dating, but are very close friends. "It was a surprise at first, but he and Briana are very, very close friends and this has brought them even closer," the source shared. Louis has vowed to be a "hands-on dad" when the baby arrives early next year.

Even though your head is probably spinning and your heart is kind of breaking (because this is surely the final nail in the Elounor coffin), if Louis is happy, Directioners should be too. There's no doubt Louis will be an amazing dad.
